Yes, I have one sister older than me. We were very close to each other. We shared everything. We talked about many things. I helped her when she needs help and she helped me too when I also need some help. We are in agreement in all dealings, though sometimes there were some misunderstanding and conflicts but that were resolved immediately. We shared some stories from our experience either in school and at work. We go out with my parents if we have spare time. We were together when we go to church. Everything ran smoothly in our relationship as my only one elder sister. Otherwise, we have a healthy relationship and hoping that it will continue and be maintained in the long run. Have a nice day! God speed!

I have 8 sisters. 2 in my adoptive family, 2 with my birth mother and 3 with my birth dad. The only ones I am really close to are my the ones I grew up with. I worry about them all the time and wish I could see them more often. The others, I don't know all that well, but I do feel as though I am big sis to them. We fight and bicker and all that, but we are always there for each other and work out our problems. Forgiveness has done well for us, and those things that we argue about just aren't worth the effort. I hope you and your sisters are able to work things out. Being without them must be hard. All the best.

Not everyone gets on in the world, and actually, the ones you are going to fall out with the most, are the ones who are very much like you. And sisters are very much a like, no matter how different they seem. All the best and send them a little gift thanking them for being a wonderful sister. Might just work.

I feel very sorry for you that you don't get along with your sisters. I have 3 sisters and we are all very close. As I always tell my children. You will always have your family. Your friends change, but you family remains your family. Families are suppose to support each other and be there for each other. Hopefully you can mend your relationships.

I would think that the one whose son you adopted would be very greatful that you took her child so he didn't have to go into foster care. Too bad that you can't work out your relationship if not for anything, at least for the sake of the child.

Pity that you are not close to your sister. I hope that I can have a sister since I don't have any sister at all at this time. I'm hoping that I can be closer to my sister in law to be in the next coming years.

I have two sisters, one older and one younger. We've always had our moments both good and bad. There are things I dislike about each of them, as I'm sure there are things they dislike about me. We were never real close growing up, and as we get older it has come in waves. We would start to get along and then something would be said or done to pull us apart again. I would always (and have) done things to help either of my sisters out, because they are my sisters and I love them, but the favor is not always returned, they seem to always have excuses, so I just accept it and move on. My older sister and I had a disagreement last Christmas and she stopped talking to me and when our mom was sick and in the hospital, she was always real short and sort of hateful to me, I tried for mom's sake to look past it. When mom passed away, (in February 2007) I sent emails to my sisters and said that I know this is not the way mom would want us too act so I apologized for things I had done or said, I said that I was offering forgiveness and asking for it in return, for anything that has ever been said or done, now or in the past. I wanted to wipe the slate clean and start a new relationship with everyone, because I know mom would want us to be close. We still have our moments, we just don't let it show and we apologize and get over it much quicker now. Relationships are hard work and family relationships are the hardest and can be tricky. You don't want to lose family ties because one day when no one else is there for you, it's nice to have your family.

thanks for yor advice. YEs we have our moments to and when it comes down to it 2 of them are here for me. I just wish it were a little better and we could see more of eachother. thanks again!!

I have two younger sisters, and I'm pretty close to them. We have big age gaps though -- I'm 7 years older than one, and 12 years older than the other. I'm friends with my younger sister... I go out shopping with her. On the other hand I really am the big sister to the youngest. I help her with my homework. Some people mistake me as younger or the same age as my sisters though, because they're taller than me.

I have one sister and we are ten years apart, there are two brothers in the middle of us. We we were younger we didn't get along well because she always wanted to do what I was doing and I didn't like that. Now we're great friends and she was the maid of honor at my wedding. I couldn't have wished for a better sister than the one I have.

Well actually when we were at our childhood stage i'm really not close with my sister. We always quarrel. Compromise is not the word for us... But now considering as both adult. We understand each other much better. We show our care and love for each other. And we can compromise with a lot of things.. Jamming and other stuff.. Chatting and sharing ideas with each other. And most especially helping each other in any ways we can.
